Musk asked Grok about the probability of Quantum Computing breaking the Bitcoin algorithm (SHA-256), and Grok replied that "it's almost 0 in the next 5 years".
BlockBeats news, on August 3, based on the research progress article of the Quantum Computer released by IBM, Musk asked Grok about the probability of Quantum Computing cracking the Bitcoin algorithm (SHA-256). Grok replied that according to the assessment by NIST, IBM, and expert surveys for 2025, the probability of Quantum Computing cracking SHA-256 is "almost 0% in the next 5 years, and will be less than 10% by 2035." This requires millions of error-correcting Quantum Bits; while the current system supports only about 1,000 noisy Quantum Bits at most. The hash value of Bitcoin remains secure at present.
